Grow lights, and heating. Opening the roof for sun light during winter isnt an option.

The city needs the facility making money year round to justify its construction.

Well I was going to write an note about how cheap Irsay and Indianapolis were to not spend the 'millions' to change to natural gas. Decided to look it up. There are estimates of one billion (yes billion) dollars to change to natural gas. Artificial grass it is.

No, it's not possible. Arizona does it because the entire field is moved outside on a giant rack, that is not possible here. But a safer field is needed ASAP!

Then they need to improve or recreate artificial turf. Sounds like a job for Purdue U.
